Hello PixelJoint, today I am recruiting artists for a new game I'm trying to develop and am very excited about. I need artists who can handle textures (items, enemies, player, icons, etc.) and animations that resemble Terraria and/or Minecraft. I can handle all of the technical side, mainly programming, and we already have two sound designers so I just need the artists.
So let me tell you about the game idea, it's called Titans' Reign. I have uploaded the very first version to YouTube which I will post a link to below, keep in mind it's the very first version and has a fraction of what I have planned. So the game is a randomly generated platforming game with art style like Terraria/King Arthur's Gold. The twist is the game is more focused on combat and crafting epic looking gear from monsters. Players can craft different weapon types in random villages from materials they loot or gather. The combat is done Monster Hunter style with only the mouse for attacking. There will also be a hotbar with items/weapons that need fast access.
Villages are randomly placed around the world and have a blacksmith for crafting, general store for potions, and auction house which is similar to Diablo 3's auction house where players can sell anything they want to any other player connected to the auction house. Quests are also randomly picked by villagers that players can pick up and include gathering, hunting, delivery, etc.
Now the meat of the game comes in with Titans. Titans are huge beasts that roam around the world like Shadow of the Colossus and they vary in shape, size, and style. Once players encounter a titan a HUD will pop-up with a skeleton image of the titan that shows the damaged parts of its body. Players kill titans by either damaging the head enough or disabling all of the limbs. Players can get to higher altitudes of blocks or quickly build a ladder to attack the limbs. Bows/crossbows are also a weapon type in this game, so that's a viable option. Once different parts of the titan are attacked it will react differently. If one of it's legs are taken down it will lean downwards for a period of time and start limping so it's lower to the ground.
I plan on having a basic multiplayer where the host can have up to three other players join their world and fight with them. As far as story goes I just came up with a basic one. The game takes place in a fantasy world called Okyrm. This world was once a peaceful place full of various species and prospering forests. Man came into the world and lived with the world in large cities or scattered villages across the planet. There wasn't much war, most humans lived healthy and rich lives, and they all could work together. But it all stopped when a new species had evolved slowly in the undisturbed regions of the main continent. This species was a race of titans that took many different forms but all shared an aggressive personality, large to massive scale, and an endless hunger for anything that moved. They destroyed cities, villages, and even mountains. Some were so tall they could be seen from miles away. Some were the size of full oak trees but moved so quick you'd never see them coming. Eventually man had grown tired of this species and started forming into groups known as Slayers which used heavy weaponry and armor to take down titans.
If you're interested in joining or want the full mind-map with all of the details of the game, please reply to this thread, PM me, or add me on skype (my skype name is awesome.god.12321). If you want to join be prepared to show me your skills, i.e. a texture/animation from a previous project and you must have a skype because that is what we will use to communicate. Currently all positions are UNPAID until the game makes money, then all profits will be split evenly between all team members.
Here is the YouTube video with the first version I talked about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zUIrf69UPA&feature=youtu.be - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zUIrf69UPA&feature=youtu.be
